“Unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene cause 829,000 deaths annually from diarrheal disease,” according to World Health Organization data.
The Connection Between Clean Water and Disease Prevention
Dirty water leads to diseases like cholera and typhoid. It also causes schistosomiasis. Our systems, like reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, remove harmful pathogens.
This makes water safe for people who need it most.
How Water Quality Affects Human Development
Water problems cause kids to miss 272 million school days a year. Women spend 200 million hours daily getting water. This time could be spent on education and work.
Having clean water helps kids go to school more. It also helps women work more. This improves public health and helps communities grow.
Understanding the Worldwide Water Crisis in 2023
Every day, 2 billion people lack safe drinking water, and 3.6 billion don’t have proper sanitation. The global water crisis is real for millions. Climate change makes droughts and floods worse, reducing freshwater.
More people and industrial needs put a strain on water. This leaves 50% of the world’s population facing water shortages every month.
In sub-Saharan Africa, 81% of freshwater is for farming. This leaves little for homes. By 2025, 1.8 billion could face severe water shortages. This could displace 700 million by 2030, according to UN Water.
Every year, 260,000 children under five die from waterborne diseases. Also, 2.8% of maternal deaths are due to unsafe water.
- 703 million lack clean water—1 in 11 people globally
- Women and girls trek 3.7 miles daily to collect water, losing 250 million hours weekly
- Flint, Michigan, exemplifies urban water crises, where 81,000 residents faced lead-contaminated tap water
At Chunke Water Treatment, we tackle these issues with advanced systems. Our technologies reclaim, purify, and conserve water. We use reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration to remove contaminants, ensuring safe water access.
Every $1 invested in water solutions brings $4 in economic returns. This shows innovation can make a big difference.
The crisis needs urgent action. By 2030, UN Sustainable Development Goal 6 aims to end water poverty. Let’s work together to ensure no community faces the global water crisis alone.
The Critical Role of Water and Sanitation in Sustainable Development
Water and sanitation are key to sustainable development. They affect health, economies, and the environment. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6) aims to ensure clean water and sanitation for all by 2030. At Chunke Water Treatment, we focus on technologies that meet these global goals and tackle local challenges.
Water Goals Within the UN Sustainable Development Framework
SDG6 connects with reducing poverty, education, and fighting climate change. In the Americas, 28 million people lack access to clean water, and 15.6 million practice open defecation. These issues block progress in many areas. Good water sanitation systems lower child deaths from diarrhea, boosting community strength.
Economic Development Through Improved Water Access
| Issue | Impact |

Germs like E. coli and cryptosporidium grow in untreated water. They spread fast when water systems fail. For example, in 2000, an outbreak in Canada made 2,300 people sick. This shows how urgent it is to use advanced filters.
| Pathogen | Minimal Infectious Dose (cells) |
| Shigella spp. | 10–102 |
| Campylobacter spp. | ~500 |
| Vibrio cholerae | 10³ |
Our systems use reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration to fight germs. They can catch pathogens as small as 0.003 microns. This helps protect both surface and groundwater. In the EU, our technology has cut cryptosporidium cases by 30%.
Old water systems are a big problem: 15.6 million U.S. homes use unregulated wells. Our systems fit into these networks, meeting EPA rules. By fixing these issues, we lower outbreak rates and healthcare costs. Waterborne disease costs the world $12 billion each year.
How Modern Water Treatment Systems Are Saving Lives
At Chunke Water Treatment, we design systems that turn contaminated water into a lifeline for communities worldwide.
Every year, unsafe water kills over 1.7 million people. Thanks to reverse osmosis systems, ultrafiltration systems, and electrodeionization systems, this number is dropping. These systems make water safe for drinking, healthcare, and industry.
Reverse Osmosis Technology: Removing Harmful Contaminants
Our reverse osmosis systems filter out tiny pollutants. They remove salts, chemicals, and even viruses. In places like the Ganga Basin, they fight off waterborne diseases.
Ultrafiltration Systems: The New Standard in Water Purification
Ultrafiltration systems keep important minerals while blocking big particles. They’re energy-efficient, perfect for rural areas. Chunke’s systems help over 2 billion people get safe drinking water.
